The noble peace prize 2014 goes to...... Kailash Satyarthi & Malala Yousafzai

India and Pakistan get connected today once again when the history was made on Friday where an Indian and a Pakistani jointly shared the Nobel peace prize for 2014.
India's Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai has been awarded the Nobel peace prize for "showing great personal courage" and their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of education to all children. After getting the prize Mr. Satyarthi said he is “extremely delighted” to have been given the honour. He said it was recognition of the fight for children’s rights.
Mr. Kailash Satyarthi-a fighter won the peace prize: - Satyarthi is a fighter who fights for children future, their education and welfare. Mr Satyarthi has maintained the tradition of Mahatma Gandhi and headed various forms of peaceful protests, "focusing on the grave exploitation of children for financial gain," the committee said at the announcement in Oslo. He has been in front always to raise his voice against child labour in India. Satyarthi who is an engineer, founded the bachchpan bachao aandolan’’ in 1980.he started his work by staging raids in manufacturing units and plants to eliminate bonded labour where the people are sold again and again. Kailash organised the global march against child labour on 1990’s to free the children from child employment/labour. The activist is also founder of rug mark, a widely known international scheme that tags all carpets made in factories that are child-labour free. He is really a true champion in fight to end the child labour.



Malala Yousafzai ... Pakistani child education activist.... At the age of just 17, Malala is the youngest ever recipient of the prize. Malala first came to attention in 2009. She was shot when gunmen boarded her school bus in the swat valley. She was one of time magazine's most influential people in 2013, and awarded the prestigious Sakharov human rights prize .she has worked a lot in girls welfare And have won lots of prizes for women empowerment. Halima mansour in the guardian calls Malala as a young "Pakistani heroine" for her bravery and independence."Malala doesn't want to play to some western-backed or Taliban-loved stereotype. She shows us that there are voices out there, in Pakistan, that need to be heard, if only to help the country find democracy that is for and from the people, all the people." in 2011 she was nominated for the international children's peace prize by the kids rights foundation.

The Nobel committee praised the pair's "struggle against the suppression of children and young people" reacting to the news, Mr. Satyarthi said "it's a great honour for all the Indians, it's an honour for all those children who have been still living in slavery despite of all the advancement in technology, market and economy. “And I dedicate this award to all those children in the world." perhaps Malala is too busy studying in Birmingham to react to winning the Nobel peace prize. As she doesn’t want to skip from a single day of her study .For many Pakistanis, Malala has become a symbol of resistance to the Taliban.A big salute to both of them for bringing india and Pakistan together once again via sharing the Noble Peace Prize.

For example : (1) In an ordinary year (of 365 days) there are 52 weeks and one odd day. (2) In a leap year (of 366 days) there are 52 weeks and two odd days. What is the Leap and Ordinary year ? Every year which is exactly divisible by 4 such as 1988, 1992, 1996 et. is called a leap year. Also every 4th century is a leap year. The other centuries, although divisible by 4, are not leap years. Thus, for a century to be a leap year, it should be exactly divisible by 400. For example : (1) 400, 800, 1200, etc are leap years since they are exactly divisible by 400. (2) 700, 600, 500 etc are not leap years since they are not exactly divisible by 400. How to find number of odd days :An ordinary year has 365 days.
